* Video games themselves:** Iso{{metroid}}: ''[[ScurgeHive Scurge: Hive]]'', a NintendoDS and GameBoyAdvance game that [[{{Expy}} borrows plot elements heavily]] from ''{{Metroid}} Fusion''.** ''Ketsui Demo Label'': ''Ketsui Death Label'', a BossRush DS port of the arcade game ''VideoGame/{{Ketsui}}''. Its inclusion of only one full stage has led fans of {{Shoot Em Up}}s to call it an expensive demo version of the arcade original.** Possibly due to its [[WorldWarII WWII]]-esque setting, the fighting game ''[[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Akatsuki BK]]'' may be as well as be alternatively called ''[[GodwinsLaw JewPuncher]]''.** {{Metroidvania}} - Very common nickname for 2D action-adventure game featuring a single large environment you slowly get more and more access to. More specifically used in the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' fandom to draw a distinction between the 'old-school' style of games and the newer ones, circa ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight''.*** Classicvania - Counterpart to Metroidvania above, when referring to most pre-''Symphony'' Castlevanias, which were linear action/platformers.** [[VideoGame/MaddenNFL Madden (insert year)]] has often had the derogatory nickname of "Roster Update" due to the fact that other than the rosters being updated per season, it's been a long time since the games have introduced anything truly new.*** [[MemeticMutation DAT MADDEN]].** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyOzzd53ssY Portal Kombat]] - ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', due to its release date coinciding with that of ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}''. No one could resist the urge to swap letters. (Said nickname is a mutual one shared between the two games.)*** ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' is itself a fan nickname, since the game is actually just called ''[[RecycledTitle Mortal Kombat]]''. This depends on who you're talking to - other communities prefer to call it ''Mortal Kombat 2011''.* Video game peripherals:** Wiimote: The Wii Remote.*** Note that this is actually the official name of the controller in French, as it is written on the box and handbooks. The litteral translation "Télécommande wii" is the alternate name: understood but hardly used by anybody.*** In French-speaking Canada, L'Académie française (or French Academy) exists specifically to maintain the purity of the French language; only words and phrases approved by that department are considered 'real' French. 'Télécommande wii' would make the list of 'official' French, while Wiimote, despite its being the 'official' Nintendo-approved name, would likely not make the cut.** "The Nunchuk" was an unofficial name for the prototype control stick attachment, but became official because ShigeruMiyamoto liked it so much.** The Duke: The original Xbox controller, before the smaller Type S was adopted as the standard. So named because it was big, broad, and took big manly hands to use comfortably.** The Bone Controller: The standard controller packaged with the model 2 NES (a.k.a. the Top-Loader) shaped like a Super NES controller, looking almost like a bone.** The Boomerang for [[http://obviousdiversion.com/images/ps3-boomerang.jpg this abomination]], the original {{Playstation 3}} controller that was never actually released.* Players:** Oh, you run a server in Garry's Mod?

Leeroying also refers to an action taken, such as aggroing a group of enemies.** MINUS 50 DKP!!!, 50 DKP MINUS!!!, Pakistani Raid Leader - A type of StopHavingFunGuys type of person who loses it when people start messing up or does something stupid. It was named for a raid leader who, in the game WorldOfWarcraft had said that if people messed up during a raid they would lose 50 DKP. Then when something goes wrong he proceeds to yell and freak out, yelling "THAT IS A **** ING 50 DKP MINUS!!!" at the player. It was thought that he was a Pakistani player on the Europe Servers, since he had a clear accent.*** The raid leader in question is [[http://kotaku.com/174801/wow-profile-this-years-leeroy-jenkins Dives]], a Romanian-born {{WOW}}er who founded and leads a guild known as "Wipe Club," and who used to be in the military.

Fans fed up with the above use this to tell the FanDumb[=/=]{{Hatedom}} to stop bitching and get over it.** Crapcom - Creator/{{Capcom}} due to the company's DLC practices and their recent horrible treatment of ''Franchise/MegaMan''.*** Capcpom - Same as above, based on [[http://i.imgur.com/PcCrl.png this]] embarrassing typo at the end of the trailer for ''VideoGame/SteelBattalion: Heavy Armor''.** Idea Fuck - Creator/IdeaFactory.** Team Ninja Dog - Derisive name for Creator/{{Tecmo}}'s Team Ninja studio without Tomonobu Itagaki's involvement. Coined by fans of the modern ''Ninja Gaiden'' games mocking those [[OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight not made or approved by Itagaki]] (''NGIII'' and the ''Sigma'' re-releases in particular).* Video game consoles:** The Purple Lunchbox: The Gamecube, so named because of its indigo color and weird "handle" at the back.** The Toilet: UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar, which really resembles one when the never-used CD add-on is attached.

Notable in that it was used by SaturdayNightLive.** The Tower of Power: [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Sega Genesis/Megadrive]] with [[UsefulNotes/OtherSegaSystems Sega CD and 32X]] addons, using a UsefulNotes/GameGenie cheat cartridge while playing Sonic3AndKnuckles. Named for the somewhat daft height of such a combination. Other combinations which are [[UpToEleven even taller]] have been made, though most of these are non-functional.** Red Ring of Death: The LED indicator that shows up on a broken XBox360. Often abbreviated RROD (and pronounced R-rod).** Yellow Light of Death: The LED indicator that shows up on a broken PS3. Often abbreviated YLOD (and pronounced Y-lod).** The Grey Box and the Toploader which differentiate the classic NES and the new, updated console, respectively.** The UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}, for the longest time, was practically its own nickname to the obvious potential for ToiletHumor in how it is officially pronounced.** Nintendium - the fictional MadeOfIndestructium material used to make Nintendo consoles [[MemeticBadass goddamn]] [[TonkaTough invincible]].** [=PS360=] - Used, sometimes derisively, to refer to the duo of the Playstation3 and Xbox360, due to a combination of shared features and shared games.** [=WiiS360=] - Refers to the trio of seventh-generation consoles.
